About This Auction. Please see my scans and the details about this and other very special rare vinyl records that I am offering here on E-bay. I dunno why I am doing this . . . but as my vinyl friends know, I do not like to waste my time or your time auctioning items that are common. Please read on and make sure you check out my other LPs I will put up for sale over the next couple of days. I am offering some prog and other rare stuff that has not seen the light of day for many moons. 

So what can I say about Le Orme but wish I done growed up in Italy instead of here.  I prefer the first two LPs because I more of a psych guy, but heck, the cover of this, which I believe is their third LP is like the modern prog dance of the contents hearable upon the majestic vinyl. 

About This Record: At auction here is an original UK copy of Le Orme's Felona & Sorona LP.  I bought this a long time ago.  It is not the original Italian pressing (it must have come out in Italy too, but may be a UK only? where are those record books when you need them), but the just as rare if not rarer UK Pressing a wonderfully cool photo which hopefully does not get censored from my ad.  I have kept it carefully and cherished it ever since. I'm trying to narrow my collection of cool things and some Prog has to go because I am PROG, you know.

The Vinyl: The vinyl is a nice VG+.  It shows some affects from a plastic sleeve that degenerated.  Plays close to NM, but has just a couple of marks,  Rarely played, and I replaced the defective sleeve about 15 years ago so the degradation marks are very slight.  REemeber, I do NOT use EX.  This would clearly be EX..

The Labels. The labels are in near mint condition No writing or stickers or any evidence thereof (of course). See Scans!

The Cover.  The cover is in strong VG+ condition with minor wear. No seams splits, very strong spine, just some minor wear around corners.  YES, this is a gatefold cover.  Remember, I do not use EX!

My Grading Policy: I do NOT use the grade EX (or EX+, or E X-). I use G/G+/VG-/VG/VG+/M-/sealed. To elaborate, while I use VG+ (which seems to be EX to EX+ for those who use EX), I do not use the grade VG+(+) or VG+(-). As my feedback reflects, I am a conservative grader and I offer a full refund if you are not satisfied. When play-grading my records, I use my vintage Rockport Sirius turntable with a Benz Ruby 3 cartridge.
